Honorée Fanonne Jeffers is at a crossroads. Traditional African/Black American cultures present the crossroads as a place of simultaneous difficulty and possibility. In contemporary times, Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the phrase “intersectionality” to explain the unique position of Black women in America. In many ways, they are at a third crossroads: attempting to fit into notions of femininity and respectability primarily assigned to White women, while inventing improvisational strategies to combat oppression.

In a motel room, blinds drawn, he sat in front of a state senator and the legal counsel for the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, nicknamed the “Johns Committee.” His crime? Being a suspected homosexual. And the government of Florida would use any tactic at their disposal—legal or not—to get Copleston to admit it.

What if one bill could quietly gut the courts, shred social programs, and shift power so drastically that democracy itself begins to collapse? Welcome to the One Big Dangerous Bill—a deceptively named piece of legislation that has already passed the House and is heading straight for the Senate. Behind patriotic branding and political spin lies something far more alarming: A hidden provision that would let government officials ignore court orders—unless you pay to enforce the law Deep cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, food assistance, and public education Massive tax breaks for ...

But rather than modifying those that have aged less well, I am including comments, which will appear in footnotes, reflecting my current thinking on the matters under discussion. This volume focuses on my collision with my former comrades over politics of identity and epistemology. They also include significant criticisms of conservative movements that I absolutely do not retract, despite my work with conservatives on anti-authoritarian causes today. - Stuart Parker ...

This is the last of four volumes of my essay writing over the past fifteen years. Some essays have aged better than others. But rather than modifying those that have aged less well, I am including comments, which will appear in footnotes, reflecting my current thinking on the matters under discussion. This volume focuses on my personal encounter with the rising cultural authoritarianism of the Canadian left and its shifting views of class and gender.

Se trata de poner en valor los derechos y los deberes que consagra la Constitución en este campo y que en ocasiones se pierden en un marasmo de sentencias y de doctrinas que confunden. Con este libro veremos un ...
